When I heard the dolphins and jets were going to square off in the first Black Friday matchup, I was reminded of this gem from the late 70s.
It's about a terrorist attack at the Super Bowl - in Miami!
Out of curiosity, I did a little poking around about facts related to this movie. Obviously most of it was filmed at the Orange bowl. But the crazy thing was that the Goodyear company allowed their blimp to be used, with certain specific conditions.
And surprisingly, the NFL actually gave permission to film at the Super Bowl, so the game that's going on was the actual Cowboys - Steelers matchup.
But then, a few weeks later, the film crew returned to the stadium to get more action and close up shots. And to have a few blimp props they could use around the stands.
They brought in a cast of extras from local organizations, and had them sit in the stands and run in horror as needed.
And several members of the Dolphins football team came out and dressed in Steelers and Cowboys uniforms to provide shots as the game was interrupted.
